If I Had a Horse

It's a strange thing you do, a compromise between the two. Things that boys make believe, and the things men have to do. Somewhere along the road, I just did what I was told. Lost the map to all my dreams, and watched that trail run cold. But if I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days. I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made. I'd right all the wrongs and sing more cowboy songs. With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave. Yeah I bet things would change, if I had a horse to ride away. And it was just a wooden broom that my momma used to use. To sweep up all the dirt a boy could find in an afternoon. But I gave that broom a name, we were good at robbing trains. But life does its thing and imagination it fades. But if I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days. I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made. I'd right all the wrongs and sing more cowboy songs. With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave. Yeah I bet things would change, if I had a horse to ride away. Oh, every now and then I want to go there. I bet I could get there. If I had a horse to ride away, like I did in my younger days. I'd ride it straight back to innoncence and the promises I made. I'd right all the wrongs, I'd sing more cowboy songs. With a pistol by my side I'd get back to being brave. Yes I know things would change, if I had a horse to ride away. If I had a horse to ride away...
